This is why I lose faith in reason- we're too busy reacting emotionally to really THINK.

It's worse taking advantage of innocent folks with Down's Syndrome (as reported elsewhere) rather than using volunteers, no matter how deluded.

It's also gonna make life rougher for mentally ill people in Iraq who will now be looked on with suspicion, as potential bombers.

it will also makes it easier for us to lump the deaths of children and mentally handicapped into "terror related" "justified" killings...

It sucks having to report on child deaths( I'm referring to a different recent report) at the hands of our military, unless of course it wasn't our fault they died, It was the fault of the evil terrorists we're fighting over there so that we don't have to fight them here.

And I suppose then that they can bump more numbers of both into a category of non-civilian casualties.

Obviously you’re not thinking to well either. You know what strikes me. This article is talking about people who saw the heads of innocent civilians to make a point, and yet all of you are suddenly skeptics. Every time Al Qeada turns around they commit a 'new low.' This is standard practice for them. Who do you people think you’re fooling?

Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

....I was gonna mock your ignorance and gullibility, but you know what ?

You've done such a great job yourself there's really no need to bother.

US officials on the ground say it's a regular suicide bombing, the story about the women being disabled seems to be from the Iraqi government. This strikes me as being for internal consumption.

Arab culture has a tradition that you respect and care for the mentally disabled, in fact the Muslim custom of charity is founded on that tradition. So within the context of the culture this is like saying they strapped bombs to little orphan Anne and used her as a guided weapon. In context in that society you couldn't have done anything much lower.

"U.S. military officials referred to the two attacks as suicide bombings, saying both women detonated the explosive devices." (As opposed to being remotely detonated.)

Now all of a sudden you believe "U.S. military officials"? Or do you just believe what you want to hear?
